valentine favors paper mailboxes plus instructions

I decided to start on valentine favors for my granddaughters preschool class. so I came up
with these paper mailboxes which I am going to fill with candy kisses later. to start cut a retangle 5 by 10

as you see here i have marked it to round off for the end of mailbox this will be the bottom and back of mailbox I cut some of the bottom off so it will measure 8 and a half long

clip all around the rounded end so you can turn in.

fold on sides and the slits and fold a crease

take your 5 by 10 retangle and glue to your base it will look like this

this is what back looks like glued

now for mailbox lid cut 5 and a half and round off like before

fold a crease and bottom and cut out on ends like above

now glue to bottom of mailbox

now close and cut around to make a neater and tighter look this is what it looks like before cut

now to keep closed I cut strip of paper glued to top and strip for mailbox to go though strip

here is a finished one I did. for flag I used doodle charm cut 6in and bug is from create a critter cut at 3 and a half inched These are super easy I made 17 of them. I plan on putting kisses in them and a little letter which will say heres a special delivery

just for you, luv bug kisses! happy valentines day. I know how some of you like to make

things for your children for school I thought I would give you plenty of time to use this if you want. cheaper than the ones at target. ha
